Rescue Story - Birth of The Church Acts 2:14-41

Acts 2:14-41

You cannot encounter God and walk away unchanged.

The Holy Spirit is a gift to all God’s Children.

When we look at the first century church, everything they did was done by the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

“If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the NT church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.”-A.W. Tozer

Let me stop and make a critical distinction. Being filled with the Holy Spirit doesn’t mean I have more of the Spirit, it means the Spirit has more of me. It doesn’t happen all at once any more than you get drunk all at once. Being filled with the Spirit happens as you continually choose to live under his influence.-Ray Pritchard
